Until the twentieth century there was little change in the diet of Iranians. Bread was the major staple, accompanied by vegetables, fruits, yoghurt, and nuts. Meat and rice were a luxury food for most consumers. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries new food items were adopted by Persian consumers. After 1970, the modern Iranian diet—large amounts of white rice, meats, sugar-sweetened beverages and sweet/deserts, with few vegetables, herbs, nuts or fruits—has grown increasingly similar to the US diet, with the same health problems.

从准素食者到准食肉动物：伊朗人不断变化的饮食

直到二十世纪，伊朗人的饮食几乎没有变化。面包是主要的主食，伴随着蔬菜、水果、酸奶和坚果。肉类和大米是大多数消费者的奢侈食品。在十九世纪和二十世纪，波斯消费者采用了新的食品。1970 年后，现代伊朗的饮食——大量的白米饭、肉类、含糖饮料和甜食/甜点，几乎没有蔬菜、香草、坚果或水果——变得越来越类似于美国的饮食，也存在同样的健康问题。
